Product Description

Amazon.com




DC40 Origin is a Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaner for every floor type. The machine’s cleaner head has an active base place, which self-adjusts automatically for optimal contact with all floor types. On hard floors the base plate lowers to create an efficient seal, and the brush bar lifts clear off the floor to protect delicate surfaces. On carpet, the base plate rises and the brush bar lowers for optimum bristle penetration- removing ground-in dirt and pet hair from different depths of carpet pile. And because the cleaner head adjusts automatically, there are no awkward dials and you don’t need to bend down to make adjustments.

Dyson cyclones capture more dirt than any other cyclone. DC40 Origin has Radial Root Cyclone technology with remodeled airflows to maximize suction power. DC40 Multi floor also has patented Ball technology. It turns on the spot, which allows you to maneuver more easily around obstacles and into awkward spaces. And because the motor and other key components are located inside the ball, the machine has a lower center of gravity- making it even easier to steer.

Patented Dyson Technology

Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology better. As they work, they file patent applications to protect their inventions from copycat manufacturers. That’s why the only place you’ll find Dyson technology is inside a Dyson machine.

Radial Root Cyclone technology: Ordinary vacuum cleaners rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. As you use them, the tiny holes in the bag clog up with particles of dust. This restricts the flow of air, so the vacuum cleaner loses suction. Dyson vacuum cleaners don’t rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. They use cyclone technology, which spins the air at incredibly high speeds. The cyclones inside a Dyson vacuum cleaner generate centrifugal forces many thousands of times the force of gravity. Dust, dirt and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the bin. No bag. No loss of suction. Dyson has been continually refining cyclone technology since inventing it more than 20 years ago. DC40 Origin has Radial Root Cyclone technology. Reconfigured air channels and improved flow efficiency reduce turbulence and preserve air pressure, so that the inner cyclones can extract more microscopic particles. These refinements help remove more dirt, dust, allergens and pet hair for the airflow.

Ball technology to help you steer with ease: Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaners use patented Ball technology to overcome the steering limitations of fixed wheels. They ride on a ball, which turns on the spot so you can steer with ease, changing direction with just a turn of the wrist. The ball itself is made of glass-reinforced polypropylene- the same material used in the manufacture of car dashboards. It combines high impact strength with the resistance to distortion. The ball also holds the heaviest component, (the motor), positioned towards the base for a lower center of gravity and greater stability.

Features

Self-adjusting cleaner head: Many upright vacuum cleaners use fixed settings and their cleaner heads don’t self-adjust to different floor types. And the bigger the gap between the cleaner head and floor, the more suction power is wasted. DC40 Origin has an active base plate. It creates the optimal cleaner head contact for every floor type, reducing air leaks and retaining suction power on all floor types- wood, carpet, vinyl and tile.

Instant release wand: DC40 Origin has an instant release, long reach wand for cleaning stairs and awkward areas- it stretches up to 5 times in length. There are no separate parts to assemble.

Extra tools: DC40 Origin comes with a Combination tool and a Stair tool. The Combination tool has a debris nozzle that converts to a brush tool for dusting. The Stair tool removes dirt and dust from corners and against vertical edges of stairs.

Captures allergens, expels cleaner air: The Dyson DC40 Origin has HEPA filtration and a lifetime washable filter. Dyson cyclones capture microscopic particles down to 0.5 microns in size, including pollen, mold and bacteria.

Hygienic bin emptying with push button release: The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying- and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your new Dyson machine has picked up.

No extra costs: Other vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement bags and filters- and the cost soon adds up. Dyson vacuums don’t have bags and have lifetime washable filters, so there are no extra costs to worry about.

5 year parts and labor warranty: Your Dyson vacuum cleaner is likely to take a few knocks and bashes during everyday use- but that’s nothing compared to what Dyson puts its machines through during testing and development. All Dyson vacuum cleaners undergo a lengthy and rigorous testing program. That’s why DC40 Origin comes with a 5 year warranty- parts and labor guaranteed by Dyson.

Worst Vaccuum I have Ever Used
1 out of 5 stars
Worst Vaccuum I have Ever Used
It simply does not work. It leaves behind more filth than it picks up. It is noisier and a more unpleasant shrill tone than any other home appliance I own. It is poorly engineered such that the attachment hose pulls it over with even careful use. It is junk. Attached is a picture of all the dirt and hair my new vacuum picked up IMMEDIATELY AFTER I did a thorough job vacuuming with the old awful Dyson."I just think things should work properly" is a joke.

I did my best to research this vacuum as much as I could before buying it, but I decided to just bite the bullet and buy it, and I am glad I did!! I'm a 25 year-old single young professional who doesn't hate cleaning nearly as much as other guys. If anything, I WANT my house to be spotless and reflect my personality for when I have company over.

This Dyson has thoroughly impressed me with how well it cleans. Right after moving in I "cleaned" my entire apartment with my battery-powered Shark that claims to "pick up what your vacuum cleaner misses!" and then I went back over it with my Dyson....BIG difference!!! I did not realize how much dust and how many hairballs were in the carpet (makes me question if they even cleaned after the last tenant moved out!!).

My biggest gripe is that the hose extension is very, VERY awkward to use, as it collapses inside the hose tube and bends at really weird angles. It's difficult to extend the hose without tipping over the vacuum. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but that is certainly something Dyson could improve.

Unlike other users, I had no problems assembling this vacuum. This is the first time in my life I've done so, and it maybe took 20 minutes? The most time consuming part was connecting the brush head, but I eventually watched the official Dyson video and figured it out. I like how sleek this vacuum and agile this vacuum is. It is slightly heavier and not as "low center-of-gravity" as Dyson claims, but it'll help me to workout I suppose!! The cord length is adequate, but I suppose it could be longer. I have an 1100 sqft apartment and my largest room is a living/dining room that is about 30ft wide at the longest. I do not like having to un-plug the cord each time, but I guess that's just part of life.

I've only had this a week and can't think of anything else, but will update my review if anything pertinent pops up. As usual, Amazon's shipping was bloody amazing ---- this product (along with a few others) was ordered at 8:30PM on a Tuesday night and I had it at my doorstop, very properly packaged and punctually delivered. It still amazes me how fast amazon can deliver something, and that's what keeps me coming back for more!! (Granted, having Amazon Prime helps a lot!!)

This is my second Dyson. My first was the DC 24, more of a compact version of this I feel, and lasted 5 years before it stopped picking up well. I love that it turns so well (on the ball), and of course the "see through" dirt collector, which is quite disgusting the first time you see it fill up, switching to incredibly satisfying every time you vacuum after that.

I really appreciate how well this item is packaged, as well as how easy it is to put together. It snaps together in under 5 minutes, and is ready to go. I would recommend registering the product online.

Also, please learn from my mistakes with my first one: wash the filters as often as they tell you to! I think that's what burned out my first one. They tell you right on there to wash this one every month, another one every 3 months, etc. Put it on your calendar! It's incredibly easy, they have videos on their website how to do it, and it WILL prolong the life of your vacuum. I did it for a while, then stopped, and now the old one only picks up half of what it should.

To me this is the worth the cost when it's on sale. Yes, its an expensive vacuum, but to me, totally worth it. Very easy to maneuver, works great on pile carpet as well as hardwood, also has an incredibly long hose to manually clean things like stairs or upholstery. All in all, a great product.

I've only used it once but I could not believe how much dirt and hair it picked up that my old vacuum had been leaving behind. With my old vacuum I was only having to change the bag about once every 2 months. I figured it was because most of my home is wood flooring. With this vacuum, the canister was full after vacuuming one time and I had just vacuumed the week before with my old vacuum! Apparently my old vacuum was a piece of junk and we were living in filth.

I really like how light weight it is. I read some of the other reviews about how it's made of plastic and feels cheap. It's not made of plastic. It's poly-carbonate. Its the same thing airplane windows are made out of. Poly-carbonate is virtually shatter resistant and very lightweight. It's an ingenious material to use for a vacuum.

So far I'm very happy but I will update my review at a later date.

**2 MONTH UPDATE**

I still really like this vacuum. The suction is fantastic and I love how light weight and durable it is. I downgraded it 4 stars instead of 5 though, because of a few irritations with the vacuum. The hose is a pretty poor design, it isn't bendable and it's awkward to use. Also, there aren't any attachments that work well for pet hair. Additionaly, the canister is on the small side. Although I like this vacuum, next time I will purchase the animal version.

It was only a matter of time before I bought a Dyson. I have heard so much advertising claiming how great this vacuum cleaner is and how it doesn't lose suction (not that I ever had an issue with that before) and it looked so cool. As soon as it arrived I put it together and started to vacuum my carpet...Man was I so disappointed. The vacuum was not able to pick up majority of the debris on the carpet. I then used it on my wood floors and it was even worse because it seemed like it pushed the larger pieces of debris around instead of picking it up. I really think it has to do with the automatic brush height since you can't manually adjust it which makes picking up items like tiny little pieces of paper (from a hole punch) that my old vacuum would suck down in a second almost impossible for the Dyson. This by far is the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. I actually started looking around the web to make sure I didn't have a defective machine but I wasn't the only one. Now I know why Consumer Reports rated all the Dyson machines so low. I guess I better look for another brand since this one is going back.

Fantastic Vacuum!

Couldn't be happier with it. Goes everywhere you need to it go, the detachable hose gets to all the hard to reach places and the suction is fantastic.
